Can H1B work as part time employee with old employer with valid H1B

[StillWaiting29]

Hi

If one moved jobs and had  H1B transferred to new company (B) and started work at company B after the approval. Can  one accept a a part time job with the old company (A) if the old company H1B/I-94 is still valid. Will there be a need for amendment on old H1-B? Any help or direction to have a part time job on H1B will be appreciated.

Thanks

The old company was required by law to inform USCIS that you no longer work there. Are you telling us they violate the law?

Yes, if the company files an amendment to make it part time and no contractual issues exist.

Yes there are no contractual issues. Confused on amendment as some post states that we can have two concurrent H1b and continue to work for both employers. Also H1B generally does not specify number of hours?

What will be the amendment for from Company A. Will they need to file LCA again?

The old company will need to file a part time H1 petition for you. Pat time is less than 35 hours/week. Obviously your current employer may need you to concentrate on your job. Say 15-20 Hours may be acceptable.
